This is a big deal if you plan on using a ribbon micSeparate settings for 48V phantom power instead of just phantom power on/off.

Soundsource has its own driver you need to install so it actually works, and it even supports loading AU/VST plugins so it's not insane to think that it might have an effect on latency.
It sucks to be able to play guitar and bass reasonably well, but be a total beginner on keyboards or drums, and having to somewhat start all over to learn those.

From the video, best audio interface for each price point...
~$200 budget - Behringer UMC204 HD
~$300 budget - Lewitt Connect 6
~$400 budget - Audient ID24
By deactivated I meant simply turning off any processing in its control panel. Signal still gets routed through the driver so that might cause some additional latency and there's really no way around that other than uninstalling the driver.Oh, I'm sure it will - but you said it might even add some if deactivated.
MOTU M4. Going on year 4 for me. My one complaint is no S/PDIF support.Wow! Thank you for all the input guys!
The Motu M4 looks nice, but I’m wondering if I’d be better off with something USB 3.0 capable, which is why I was looking at the Audient. The MOTU appears to be USB 2.0z Low latency is at the top of my list. Is USB 3.0 overrated for my application?
Seems to be going the way of the dodo, like Firewire.Something to keep in mind is at that price they won't likely come with SPDIF i/O if that is important to you.
For MOTU you would need to go to the M5 to get SPDIF and it's a few hundred more.
I think you are confusing S/PDIF with Thunderbolt.Seems to be going the way of the dodo, like Firewire.
Presonus has always been solid for the cost. I still have a Studio 192 if I need to record more simultaneous inputs. Also a Digimax LT I've had going on 20 yrs with surprisingly clean mic preamps.Fwiw, Presonus has 4 new of their Quantum series interfaces. Looking pretty good IMO.
No I am not.I think you are confusing S/PDIF with Thunderbolt.
Are you going to be grumpy all the time?No I am not.
I don't use Mac terminology for USB-C either. Thunderbolt and Lightening were really stupid terms bound to be jokes in the near future.

That's why I retired.Are you going to be grumpy all the time?
I feel you! I have 13 years but it feels like I should probably be done in 3 weeksThat's why I retired.
Sorry, but engineers in general, cut to the chase pretty quickly. Semantics are for English majors. The term "Thunderbolt" is absolutely stupid. Maybe it meant something when there was a proprietary connector. USB-C is what the world understands. Tim Cook's alphabet seems to be missing a few letters.
The new ones are a downgrade if you care about latency though, the thunderbolt quantum 2626 verion had a RTL at 2ms, while the new ones clocks in at almost 5ms. Still good but...Fwiw, Presonus has 4 new of their Quantum series interfaces. Looking pretty good IMO.
